I have a Bernie story. More accurately, a Bernie T-shirt story.

Yesterday I went to Radio Shack to replace the battery in my car remote. As always, I was wearing my Bernie shirt.

The young man who rang me up said, "That's $5.99 for the battery and an extra 5 percent off for your shirt." He smiled, I smiled, and we gave each other a high five.

I walked back to my car, removed one of my three Bernie magnets and took it in to him.

"Put that on your car."

He was THRILLED! He followed me out of the store, magnet in hand, and immediately put it on his bumper.

Looks like he'll be visiting berniesanders.com. And it looks like I'll be buying more magnets.

FEEL THE BERN!

If Bernie backers want my Bernie magnets, they can have them.
The magnets won't be on my car, but we'll see them on theirs.

I can buy more magnets. (I was planning to regardless.) And I'll bet that young man will buy a few, too.

FEEL THE BERN!

But frankly it all scares me, that's why I am going to donate again next month to Bernie's campaign!

The Establishment is scary, but beatable, because so many people are fed up with their "stuff."

below the radar, among the people, where the 1% can't find us.

I like this revolution.
